Characterization of Selected Radionuclides in Sediment and Surface Water in Standley Lake, Great Western Reservoir, and Mower Reservoir, Jefferson County, Colorado, 1992

By David W. Clow and David A. Johncox

Abstract

Sediment and surface water from Standley Lake, Great Western Reservoir, and Mower Reser­ voir, near Denver, Colorado, were sampled and analyzed for selected radionuclides during August through October 1992. These reservoirs are located about 1.5 to 3.3 miles east of the U.S. Department of Energy's Rocky Flats Envi­ ronmental Technology Site, formerly the Rocky Flats Plant, which was a manufacturing site for nuclear bomb triggers. In the 1960's, drums con­ taining oil contaminated with plutonium leaked onto the ground. Some of these contaminated soils were subsequently dispersed ofTsite by wind. In 1983 84, plant operators sampled reservoir sedi­ ment from Standley Lake and Great Western Reservoir and determined that some sediment was contaminated with plutonium-239,240(239'240Pu). However, the data from the 1983 84 study lacked the quality-assurance crite­ ria currently (1992) required by the Rocky Flats Field Office. In 1992, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Energy, undertook a study to: (1) Characterize concentrations of selected radionuclides in lake sediment and surface water at Standley Lake, Great Western Reservoir, and Mower Reservoir;and (2) compare 239'240pu lake-sediment data obtained in 1983-84 to results from co-located lake-sediment samples obtained in 1992 by the U.S. Geological Survey.

Median 239>240pu concentrations in lake- sediment grab samples from Standley Lake, Great Western Reservoir, and Mower Reservoir were

0.037, 0.105, and 0.351 picocuries per gram (pCi/g), and the differences between the reservoirs were statistically significant at p<0.05. The high­ est 239'240pu concentrations were measured in lake-sediment grab samples collected from reser­ voirs closest to Rocky Flats Environmental Tech­ nology Site, which is consistent with the spatial pattern of 239>240pu concentrations identified in soil surrounding the site in previous studies.

The maximum concentration of 239>240pu dissolved in lake water was 0.009 picocuries per liter, well below limits suggested by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. Dissolved gross alpha and uranium isotope concentrations were below National Drinking Water Standards in all water samples.

There was no statistically significant differ­ ence between 239>240pu concentrations in lake- sediment grab samples collected from Standley Lake in 1983-84 and in 1992; however, there was a small, but statistically significant difference at Great Western Reservoir (p<0.05). Mean239'240Pu concentrations at Great Western Reser­ voir were 0.140 pCi/g lower in 1992, and median concentrations were 0.040 pCi/g lower. One pos­ sible explanation for the difference in concentra­ tions in lake-bottom-sediment grab samples is thatnew sediments with relatively low 239'240pu con­ centrations may have buried older sediments con­ taining higher concentrations of 239'240Pu; the grab-sampling technique collects only the top 2 to 4 inches of sediment from the lake bottom.

In lake-bottom-sediment cores, trends in 239'240Pu concentrations with depth in 1992 were

similar to trends identified in the 1983-84 study. Maximum 239'240pu concentrations occurred at depths ranging from 13 to 31 inches below the sediment-water interface at most sites. There was a small, but statistically significant (p<0.05) dif­ ference in 239'240pu concentrations in co-located lake-bottom-sediment cores collected in 1983-84 and in 1992. Measured concentrations tended to be higher in 1983-84 than in 1992. The median difference between data sets was 0.050 pCi/g, and differences tended to increase with concentration; in samples with concentrations above 1.5 pCi/L, concentrations were 10 to 30 percent higher in 1983 84 than in 1992. The differences in concen­ trations could be attributable to spatial variations in sediment and 239'240pu deposition.

INTRODUCTION

Standiey Lake, Great Western Reservoir, and Mower Reservoir are man-made water bodies used for domestic water supply and irrigation in northeastern Jefferson County, Colorado (fig. 1). These reservoirs (hereinafter referred to as lakes) are located 1.5 to 3.3 mi east of the Rocky Flats Environmental Technol­ ogy Site (RFETS, formerly known as the Rocky Flats Plant), which is about 16 mi northwest of Denver, Colorado. The RFETS, which is owned by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and operated by contractors, was built in 1951 and has been used for plutonium processing, purification, and machining in the manufacture of triggers for nuclear bombs. In the 1960's, drums containing oil contaminated with pluto­ nium leaked onto the ground at the 903 pad (fig. 1), and contaminated soil was subsequently transported offsite by wind erosion (Krey and Hardy, 1970). Investiga­ tions in the 1970's, 80's, and 90's indicated that soil near the RFETS was contaminated with plutonium-239,240 (239 '240Pu, which is plutonium-239 + pluto- nium-240) and americium-241 (241 Am), which is adaughter product of p 1-utonium-241(241 Pu) (Krey and Hardy, 1970; Hardy and others, 1980; Thomas and Robertson, 1981; Setlock, 1983; Setlock and Paricio, 1984; Litoar and others, 1994). In 1983-84, the RFETS contractor measured elevated levels of239'240Pu in bottom sediment from Standiey Lake and Great Western Reservoir (Setlock, 1983; Setlock and Paricio, 1984). However, the data were not collected using the quality-assurance criteria currently required by the DOE-RFETS. Between August 27 and

Oct. 14, 1992, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the DOE, collected lake-sediment grab samples, lake-bottom sediment cores, and water samples from Standiey Lake, Great Western Reservoir, and Mower Reservoir.

Purpose and Scope

This report summarizes concentrations of selected radionuclides in sediment and water samples collected in 1992 from Standiey Lake, Great Western Reservoir, and Mower Reservoir. The report also describes the results of comparisons between 239'240pu concentrations in sediment collected from Standiey Lake and Great Western Reservoir in 1983 84 and 1992. Analytical results forradionuclide, trace ele­ ment, major-element composition, and other selected water-quality constituents in individual sediment and water samples are presented in the appendixes at the back of this report.

Description of the Study Area

Standiey Lake is a reservoir in the city of Westminster, a suburb of Denver, in northeastern Jef­ ferson County and is about 3.3 mi southeast of the RFETS (fig. 1). This lake is formed by an earthen dam on Big Dry Creek and originally was constructed in about 1910 to supply water for irrigation. Standiey Lake supplies drinking water for the cities of Westmin­ ster, Thornton, and Northglenn, which are located 4 mi southeast, 8 mi east, and 7 mi northeast of Standiey Lake. About two-thirds of the lake water is municipal water supply, and the other one-third is for irrigation. The full capacity of the lake is about 43,000 acre-ft; the mean depth is about 36 ft, and the maximum depth is 96 ft based on the original land surface (Ruddy and others, 1992). Almost all the inflow to Standiey Lake is delivered by canals flowing from the southeast which do not pass through the RFETS. Woman Creek, which drains the southern side of the RFETS, flows intermit­ tently into Standiey Lake. Standiey Lake is owned and operated by the Farmers Reservoir and Irrigation Com­ pany of Brighton.

Great Western Reservoir is in northeastern Jef­ ferson County about 1.5 mi east of the RFETS (fig. 1). Great Western Reservoir has an earthen dam that was built in 1904 and originally was designed to supply water for irrigation. The lake is owned and operated by the city of Broomfield, which is located 2 mi to the northeast of Great Western Reservoir and supplies drinking water to the city. The full capacity of the lake

is about 3,250 acre-ft. Most of the inflow to Great Western Reservoir comes from a canal flowing from the southeast, which does not pass through the RFETS. Walnut Creek, which flows from the RFETS, previ­ ously flowed into Great Western Reservoir but, in 1992, was diverted around Great Western Reservoir (U.S. Department of Energy, 1992). Outflow from Great Western Reservoir is into Walnut Creek, which joins Big Dry Creek several miles downstream.

Mower Reservoir is a small, privately owned lake about 1.5 mi southeast of the RFETS (fig. 1). Mower Reservoir water is used solely for agriculture. The lake covers an area of about 9 acres (U.S. Depart­ ment of Energy, 1992). Inflow into Mower Reservoir is delivered from Mower Ditch, which diverts water from Woman Creek. Outflow discharges into Standley Lake southeast of Mower Reservoir. The lake had a maximum depth of about 5 ft during the sampling period. A dense mat of aquatic weeds covers most of the lake throughout the growing season.

Previous Investigations

239Pu, 240Pu, and 241 Pu are by-products of the nuclear processing activities that occurred at theRFETS. The half-life of 239Pu is 24,100 years, the half-life of 240Pu is 6,560 years, and the half-life of 241 Pu is 14.4 years (Walker and others, 1989). 241Am is a decay product of 241 Pu and has a half-life of432.7 years. 239Pu, 240Pu, and 241 Am primarily are alpha emitters and are the most prevalent transuranic contaminants in the soil at the RFETS (Litoar and oth­ ers, 1994). A summary of the results of previous soil and lake-sediment investigations in the vicinity of the RFETS is provided in the following paragraphs.

A study conducted in 1970 characterized 239,240pu concentrations in soil surrounding the RFETS, and a contamination pattern converging on the drum storage site was identified (Krey and Hardy,1970). Concentrations of 239'240Pu in soil at the stor­ age site were more than 2,000 nCi/m2 and decreased in all directions away from the storage site (Krey and Hardy, 1970). These findings were confirmed by Litoar and others (1994), who measured 239'240pu and241 Am concentrations as much as 4,440 pCi/g in soil near the drum storage site. It also was determined that90 percent of 239'240Pu and 241 Am concentrations were in the top 12 cm of soil, but earthworm burrowing probably was responsible for transporting some of the actinides to depths of 40 cm (Litoar and others, 1994).

In 1970 and 1973, the U.S. Environmental Pro­ tection Agency collected lake-bottom-sediment grab samples to determine 239-240pu levels in the sediment in Standley Lake. The concentrations were predomi­ nantly at background levels attributable to geologic and atmospheric testing sources of less than or equal to 0.10 pCi/g (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1973, 1975). Maximum 239-240Pu levels were 0.37pCi/ginthe 1970 study and 0.17 pCi/g in the 1973 study.

Lake-bottom-sediment cores were collected in 1974 in Standley Lake and Great Western Reservoir by a DOE contractor, Battelle Laboratory. One core from Standley Lake had a maximum 239>240pu concentration of 0.39 pCi/g, and a core from Great Western Reservoir had a maximum of 6.09 pCi/g (Thomas and Robertson, 1981).

In 1976, a lake-bottom-sediment core sample was collected from Standley Lake to determine the tim­ ing of plutonium releases (Hardy and others, 1980). Using a combination of actinides, the history of depo­ sition of selected radionuclides was established, including fallout from nuclear bomb testing, nuclear- powered satellite failures, and releases at the RFETS. About 70 percent of the 239 > 240pu occurred in the uppermost 30 cm of the lake-bottom-sediment core, which Hardy and others (1980) attributed to drum leak­ age from the RFETS. The remaining 30 percent of the 239,240pu wa§ attributed to atmospheric fallout during extensive nuclear testing in the 1950's and early 1960's (Hardy and others, 1980).

Additional studies were conducted in 1983 and 1984 by the DOE contractor, Rockwell International, to improve the existing knowledge of environmental radionuclide concentrations and relevant transport phe­ nomena in Standley Lake and Great Western Reservoir (Setlock, 1983; Setlock and Paricio, 1984). In each of these studies, lake-sediment grab samples and lake- bottom-sediment cores were collected. Maximum 239,240pu concentrations in lake-bottom-sediment cores from Standley Lake were 0.61 pCi/g. Maximum 239,240pu concentrations in core samples from Great Western Reservoir were between 4.9 and 5.4 pCi/g. The 1983 and 1984 studies are the focus of the histori­ cal data comparison contained in this report.

METHODS OF DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS

Sample-collection methods were designed to determine physical and chemical characteristics of sed­ iment and water in the three lakes. Methods used for sample collection followed the RFETS environmental

management standard operating procedures (EG&G, Rocky Flats, Inc., 1991) and are described or refer­ enced in the following sections. The USGS boat was decontaminated at the RFETS decontamination pad according to standard procedures. Decontamination of the boat was done before and after the sampling of each lake. The samples were relinquished on the chain-of- custody to the DOE subcontractor for handling and shipping to the contract laboratories. The DOE subcontractor provided the sample bottles, which met the quality-assurance/quality-control requirements (U.S. Department of Energy, 1994), the sample bottle labels, and the chain-of-custody sheets. Sampling and decontamination methods specific to each type of sampling are described in the following sections.

Lake-Sediment Grab Sampling

Lake-sediment grab samples were collected from predetermined locations in the lakes. Sampling locations correspond to sites sampled during the 1983-84 studies at the RFETS. Sixteen lake-sediment grab samples were collected from Standley Lake on Sept. 3 4, 1992 (fig. 2), 15 samples were collected at Great Western Reservoir on Aug. 27 28 and Sept. 2, 1992 (fig. 3), and 3 samples were collected from Mower Reservoir on Sept 10, 1992 (fig. 4). The lake-sediment grab samples were analyzed for selected radionuclides (table A-l in Appendix A at the back of this report), trace elements, major ions, and cyanide (table A-2 in Appendix A). Analyses for total organic carbon were done for 10 percent of all grab samples at selected sampling sites.

Lake-sediment grab samples were collected using an Eckman dredge. The required volume of sediment sampled at most of the sites was 750 mL. Analyses for total organic carbon required an addi­ tional 1,250 mL of sediment for a total of about 2 L. The volume of sediment collected by the dredge was dependent on the physical consistency of the sediment. Where the sediment was soft, about 2 L was collected. Sandy or gravelly bottoms yielded only about 0.16 to 0.66 L of sediment, and several grabs had to be made at these sites to achieve the 750 mL. Once the dredge was retrieved, the sediment was emptied into a clean stainless-steel bowl and homogenized using a clean stainless-steel spoon. The sample then was container­ ized using the stainless-steel spoon to place the sedi­ ment in the sample bottle. Between samples, the decontamination of the dredge and the stainless-steel bowl and spoon consisted of a detergent wash, a de- ionized water rinse with a pressurized sprayer, and a drying with paper towels.

Lake-Bottom-Sediment Core Sampling

Lake-bottom-sediment core samples were col­ lected from Standley Lake, Great Western Reservoir, and Mower Reservoir. Coring locations at Standley Lake and Great Western Reservoir in 1992 correspond to sites sampled during the 1983 84 studies. Lake- bottom-sediment core samples had not been previously collected at Mower Reservoir, and the coring locations there were determined by the USGS. A core was collected near the dam structure of each lake, near the center of each lake somewhere near the original stream channel, and in the deltas where the main tributaries flow into each lake. Two separate lake-bottom- sediment cores were collected at each sampling site: one core for chemical analyses, and the second for physical description.

Lake-bottom-sediment cores from the lakes were collected using a gravity-driven piston coring device (EG&G Rocky Flats Inc., 1991). The coring equip­ ment consisted of a galvanized-steel weight stand that had fins, an attached galvanized-steel core barrel, driv­ ing weights, galvanized couplings, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) finger assembly, hose clamps, 2.6-in-diameter polybutyrate core liners, and a PVC piston valve. Once fully assembled, the coring device was attached to a steel cable and lowered into the water using a USGS E-reel (Buchanan and Somers, 1980). The coring device was lowered to about 20 ft from the lake bottom. At this point, the coring device was allowed to free-fall to the lake bottom to obtain a maximum core length. At the shallow sampling sites at Mower Reservoir, the cor­ ing device was allowed to free-fall from the water sur­ face to get enough momentum to obtain an adequate core sample. The core sample was raised to the water surface using the E-reel. The core liner was removed from the core barrel, and end caps were secured on both ends of the liner. The liner was labeled and stored ver­ tically in a cooled core-liner storage box.

The two core samples from each site were taken to a shore station for extrusion, description, and con­ tainerizing. Lake water above the sediment was siphoned from the core liner with a peristaltic pump, and an extrusion rod was placed in the bottom of the core liner. A clean 2-in.-long cutting sleeve was placed on top of the core liner, and a 2-in. section of core was pushed up into the cutting sleeve. A polyethylene cutter was inserted between the top of the core liner and the bottom of the cutting sleeve, and a 2-in. sample was cut from the core. The sample was put into a sample bottle and homogenized using a clean plastic spatula. A subsample was collected from this bottle and placed into a second sample bottle. One sample bottle was for analysis of radionuclides, and the other sample bottle

was for analysis of trace elements, selected major ions, and cyanide. This procedure was repeated for the entire length of each core.

A physical description of the core material was done on one of the two cores collected from each lake- bottom sampling site (table B-1 in Appendix B). The core was extruded horizontally onto a table covered with white paper. The core was split in half longitudi­ nally, using a spatula, to reveal the middle of the core. A yardstick was aligned along the side of the core for measuring purposes. The core material was photo­ graphed and qualitatively described in terms of color, texture, and other features. Core color was determined using the Munsell soil color chart standards.

Lake-bottom-sediment cores for chemical analy­ ses were obtained from four sites at Standley Lake (fig. 2) on Sept. 8 9. Core lengths ranged from 8 in. at the Woman Creek bay site (SED08292) to 36 in. at the sampling site (SED08192) near the dam. Lake- bottom-sediment core samples were collected from five sites at Great Western Reservoir during 1992 (fig. 3) from Aug. 31-Sept. 2, and Sept. 15. Core lengths ranged from 9 in. at the Walnut Creek bay site (SED09292) to 31 in. at the site (SED09192) near the dam. Lake-bottom-sediment cores were obtained from three sites at Mower Reservoir (fig. 4) on Sept. 14. The cores ranged in length from 11 in. at the inlet of Mower Ditch site (SED09092) to 22 in. near the damsite (SED08992). The chemical analyses of the lake- bottom-sediment cores included radionuclides, selected major ions, trace elements, and cyanide. Attempts were made to obtain single core lengths of as much as 45 in.; however, some attempts were not successful. The low core recoveries could have been because of the physical characteristics of the sediment and limitations of the coring equipment.

Lake-Water Sampling

Water samples from the lakes were collected by using a horizontally suspended Van Dorn discrete-zone sampler. The Van Dorn sampler consists of a PVC cylinder with rigid polyurethane end seals, silicone gaskets, and a latex closing tube. The sampler is about 2 ft long and has a capacity of about 4 L. Samples obtained during the lake-bottom coring were collected about 1 to 1-1/2 ft from the bottom of the lake. During the Oct. aquatic sampling, water samples were collected at various depths based on the total depth at each sampling point. The water was decanted from the Van Dorn sampler into a clean 20-L carboy.

The water samples were taken to a shore station for preparation, containerizing, and preservation. All aliquots were taken from the 20-L carboy used to

composite the samples on the boat. Samples for total concentrations were poured directly from the 20-L carboy, which was gently inverted several times to resuspend particulates, into the sample bottles. Sam­ ples for dissolved concentrations were pumped from the 20-L carboy through a 0.45-|am cellulose- membrane filter. The filter cartridge was flushed with1 L of deionized water and about 500 mL of native water prior to filtration of samples from each site. The samples were relinquished on the chain-of-custody to the DOE subcontractor for handling and shipping to the laboratories. The DOE subcontractor provided the sample bottles, the sample bottle labeling, the 0.45-(am filter cartridges, and the chain-of-custody forms.

Water samples were collected in conjunction with the lake-bottom-sediment coring in Aug. and Sept. 1992 done by the USGS, and with the Oct. 1992 aquatic sampling done by the DOE subcontractor. Water samples were collected in July 1992 by the DOE subcontractor.

Field measurements were made at each water- sampling site at all three lakes (table C-l in appendix C at the back of this report) using a multi-parameter mea­ suring instrument. The parameters measured with the multi-parameter measuring instrument included water temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, and specific conductance. These field parameters were measured prior to the collection of water samples to develop a lake profile. By observing the water temperature and the DO, a determination of lake stratification could be made. No lake stratification was detected during the Oct. water sampling, so samples were composited from surface, middle, and bottom depths.

Four lake-bottom water samples were collected from Standley Lake during 1992 on Sept. 8-9 (fig. 2), five were collected from Great Western Reservoir from Aug. 31 Sept. 2 and on Sept. 15 (fig. 3), and three were collected from Mower Reservoir on Sept. 14 (fig. 4). The analyses of these water samples included radionu­ clides (table C-2 in Appendix C), trace elements, major ions, herbicides, nutrients, cyanide, and sulfide (table C-3 in Appendix C).

Water sampling, coinciding with the aquatic sampling performed by the DOE subcontractor at all three reservoirs, was done in Oct. 1992. Five water- quality samples were collected from Standley Lake on Oct. 13 14 (fig. 2), four were collected at Great West­ ern Reservoir on Oct. 2 (fig. 3), and five were collected from Mower Reservoir on Oct. 8 (fig. 4). The analyses of these water samples included radionuclides (table C-2 in Appendix C), trace elements, major ions, nutrients, dissolved and suspended solids, oil and grease, pesti­ cides, and volatile organic compounds (table C-3 in Appendix C).

Quality-Assurance Procedures and Analytical Methods

Quality-assurance procedures associated with sampling, sample preparation, and sample shipping were overseen by the DOE subcontractor. The quality- assurance activities were accomplished according to quality requirements (EG&G Rocky Flats Inc., 1991).

The types of quality-assurance samples collected at the sediment- and water-sampling sites consisted of duplicate samples and equipment rinsates. Duplicate samples were collected to provide an indication of overall sampling precision (U.S. Department of Energy, 1990). These duplicate samples were collected immediately after the regular samples were collected

using the same sampling techniques. Equipment- rinsate samples were collected as a check on the poten­ tial for sample contamination by the sampling equip­ ment. The equipment-rinsate samples were collected by containerizing deionized water that was used to rinse the various decontaminated sampling equipment. The frequency of the duplicate sample collection was 1 in every 10 regular sediment and water samples col­ lected. Summary statistics for radionuclide concentra­ tions in duplicate samples and differences in measured concentrations are in table 1. The frequency of the equipment-rinsate sample collection was 1 in every 20 regular sediment and water samples collected, and summary statistics for radionuclide concentrations in equipment rinsates are presented in table 2. Quality assurance for the field measurements consisted of

equipment inspection and calibration for each field- parameter measurement according to requirements (EG&G Rocky Flats, Inc., 1991).

Analytical methods for sediment and water- quality tests were provided by the U.S. Department of Energy (1990). Quality-assurance procedures for sample analyses and analytical data validation are out­ lined by the U.S. Department of Energy (1994). All analyses in this report met data-validation criteria.

Statistical Data-Analysis Techniques

To test for differences in analyte levels between the lakes, samples from each lake were grouped, and a Kruskal-Wallis test was applied to determine whether sample distributions were the same, or in some cases, whether medians of sample groups were the same. This test was used to identify differences in lake- sediment grab data and lake-water-quality results between lakes based on the 1992 data.

In the comparison of results for 239-240pu jn lake- sediment grab samples and lake-bottom-sediment core samples collected in 1983 84 and in 1992, grab

samples and core samples were evaluated indepen­ dently. Results where concentrations were less than the reported detection limit were included in all statistical tests, and all data included in this report are uncen- sored. Uncensored data were used because removal or substitution of data below the detection limit can intro­ duce bias into statistical analyses (Gilliom and others, 1984; Porter and others, 1988). Nonparametric statis­ tical techniques were used because most data sets were not distributed normally.

Matched pairs of data were identified as samples that were collected in the same location in the 1983 84 and 1992 studies. Results for groups of matched pairs were compared using either a sign test or a Wilcoxon signed-rank test, depending on whether the differences between the data sets were symmetrically distributed. Although the signed-rank test provides more power when differences are symmetrical, the test is inappro­ priate where differences are asymmetric (Helsel and Hirsh, 1992; Ott, 1993). For matched pairs, the sign test determines whether x is generally larger or smaller than y, whereas the signed-rank test determines whether the median difference between paired obser­ vations is equal to zero (Helsel and Hirsh, 1992).

median values of samples from Mower Reservoir and Standley Lake was significant at p<0.05.

Lake-Sediment Grab Samples

1992 Data

Maximum concentrations of 239'240Pu and241 Am in sediment grab samples from all three study lakes were greater than the range of background con­ centrations, roughly <0.1 pCi/g, expected from natural processes and fallout (U.S. Environmental ProtectionAgency, 1973, 1975). The concentration of 239 '240Pu in lake-sediment grab samples for the three study lakesis shown in figure 5. Concentrations of 239'240Pu were highest in Mower Reservoir sediment and lowest insediment in Standley Lake. Boxplots of 239 '240Pu con­ centration are shown in figure 6. Summary statistics for radionuclide concentrations in all lake-sediment grab samples and groups of grab samples separated according to lake are listed in table 3. Median 239,240pu concentrations in Standley Lake, Great West­ ern Reservoir, and Mower Reservoir were 0.037, 0.105, and 0.351 pCi/g, respectively, and the differ­ ences between the reservoirs were statistically signifi­ cant at p<0.05.

The 239'240pu concentrations in Mower Reser­ voir were considerably higher than background levels measured in lake sediment in the Front Range of Colorado. For comparison, in a previous study (Cohenand others, 1990), mean 239 > 240pu concentrations in the top 4 in. of sediment from two unaffected Front Range lakes, Wellington Lake and Halligan Reservoir, were 0.094 and 0.027 pCi/g. Trends among the lakes used in this study were in agreement with the patterns of 239,240pu concentration reported for soil surrounding Rocky Flats (Hardy and others, 1980) and indicated that sediment in Mower Reservoir has the highest con­ centrations of 239'240Pu of the three study lakes. These findings are consistent with the fact that Mower Reser­ voir is closest to the drum storage site at Rocky Flats.

The mean concentration of 241 Am in lake- sediment grab samples was highest in Great Western Reservoir and lowest in Standley Lake (fig. 7, table 3).However, 241Am concentrations in sediment from Great Western Reservoir varied considerably and were substantially skewed; the median value was higher in Mower Reservoir than in Great Western Reservoir and Standley Lake (fig. 8, table 3). The difference in the

Comparison Between 1983-84 and 1992 Data

When all lake-sediment grab sample data col­ lected in 1983 84 were considered as one group, and all analogous data from 1992 were considered as another group, there was no statistically significant dif­ ference in the distributions of the data sets (p>0.05). However, when lake-sediment grab data from Standley Lake and Great Western Reservoir were considered separately, there was a statistically significant differ* ence at Great Western Reservoir (p<0.05) and not at Standley Lake (no samples were taken from Mower Reservoir in 1983 84). Boxplots showing means, medians, and quartiles for the 1983 84 and 1992 data, as well as differences between the two data sets for co- located samples, are shown in figure 9. At Standley Lake, there seemed to be no consistent difference between the 1983-84 and the 1992 data (fig. 9a), but at Great Western Reservoir, the 1983 84 data had more spread than the 1992 data, and 239-240pu concentrations tended to be higher in 1983-84 (fig. 9b). The median difference between data sets at Great Western Reser­ voir was 0.040 pCi/g, and the mean difference was 0.140 pCi/g. The mean difference was substantially greater than the median difference because the distribu­ tion of differences was skewed; differences were greater at high concentration than at low concentration.Scatterplots of the matched pairs of 239'240Pu concen­ tration data for Standley Lake and Great Western Reservoir are shown in figures 10 and 11. A 1:1 line also is shown to indicate where samples would tend to plot if concentrations in co-located samples were the same in 1983 84 and 1992. Sites where samples had 239,240pu concentrations below 0.2 pCi/g in 1983-84 tended to have similar concentrations in 1992. How­ ever, sites where samples had 239'240pu concentrations above 0.2 pCi/g in 1983 84 tended to have much lowerconcentrations in 1992. The lower 239'240Pu concen­ trations in 1992 compared to 1983-84 could be explained by recent deposition of sediments with rela­ tively low 239'240pu concentrations; the new sediments may have buried the older sediments having somewhathigher concentrations of 239 '240Pu. It is likely that thesediments with 239 '240pu concentrations between 0.2 and 1.0 pCi/g still exist but were not sampled because the grab-sampling technique collects only the upper­ most 2 to 4 in. of sediment.

Lake-Bottom-Sediment Core Samples

1992 Data

As with the lake-sediment grab samples, concen­ trations of 239 '240Pu and 241 Am in many of the lake-bottom-sediment core samples were greater than the range of background concentrations expected from natural processes and fallout (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1973, 1975). Concentrations of239 '240Pu in lake-bottom-sediment cores ranged from about 0 pCi/g in Standley Lake and Mower Reservoir to 4.030 pCi/g in Great Western Reservoir (table 4) andhad a median of 0.101 pCi/g. Concentrations of 241 Am ranged from 0 pCi/g in Standley Lake and Great West­ ern Reservoir to 1.016 pCi/g in Great Western Reser­ voir (table 4) and had a median of 0.021 pCi/g. In most cores, 239 '240pu and 241 Am concentrations exhibited a prominent peak at about the same depth, which occurred at depths ranging from 13 to 31 in. An exam­ ple is shown in figure 12; 239 -240pu and 241 Am concen­ trations both peak at a depth of 18 in. in core SED08392. Previous investigators have reported a prominent peak in the concentrations of these radionu- clides at similar depths (Hardy and others, 1980; Setlock, 1983;Sackschewsky, 1985; Cohen and others, 1990).

Hardy and others (1980) used the ratio of 241 Am to 239 '240pu to identify the predominant sources of

239,240pu in lake se(jiment. Krey and others (1976)reported that the ratio of 241 Am to 239 '240pu in soil contaminated with Rocky Flats debris was 0.15. Livingston and Bowen (1976) noted that global fallout from 1961-62 nuclear testing averaged about 0.24. Hardy and others (1980) stated that the mean ratio of 241 Am to 239 '240pu in lake sediment below the 239,240pu concentration peak matched that of fallout.The 241 Am to 239 > 240pu ratio above the 239 -240Pu concentration peak was equal to the ratios typical of contaminated Rocky Flats debris (Hardy and others, 1980). Hardy and others (1980) estimated that 74 to90 percent of m240Pu in sediment above the 239 '240Pu concentration peak was derived from Rocky Flats.

By following the method described in Hardy and others (1980), an attempt was made to identify the pre­ dominant sources of 239 '240Pu in lake-bottom-sediment cores collected in this study. It should be noted that the ratio of 241Am to 239 '240pu increases with time due to decay of 241 Pu (half-life = 14.4 yr) to241 Am after dep­ osition. The ratio of 241 Am to 239 '240pu in the core from the middle of Standley Lake is plotted with depth in figure 13. In general, the lowest ratios (fig. 13) occurred near the same depth as the highest concentra­ tions of 239 '240Pu and 241 Am (fig. 12) in this core, but the ratio had considerable scatter, and the data were inconclusive. Assignment of sources based on these results is not warranted. Furthermore, a plot of

24 Characterization of Selected Radionuclides in Sediment and Surface Water in Standley Lake, Great Western Reservoir, and Mower Reservoir, Jefferson County, Colorado, 1992

239.240pu concentration against 241 Am:239 '240Pu con­ centrations in lake-bottom-sediment cores collected from Standley Lake and Great Western Reservoir in 1992 indicates that there is no relation (fig. 14A). A relation was expected because the source of sediment that has high 239 '240pu concentrations is likely to have been Rocky Flats debris, which has a relatively low24 'Am to 239 <240Pu ratio (Krey and others, 1976; Hardy and others, 1980). The reason for the lack of relationbetween 239'240pu concentration and 241 Am: 239 '240Pu concentrations is unknown.

There is a linear relation (^=0.986, p<0.02) between concentrations of 239 '240Pu and 241 Am (figure 14B). This result was expected because 241 Amis a decay product of 241 Pu (half-life = 14.4 yrs) and is useful as an indication of the validity of the analytical results.

Comparison Between 1983-84 and 1992 Data

In 1992, lake-bottom-sediment core samples were collected at four of the sites sampled in 1983 84. Two of these sites were in Standley Lake, and two were in Great Western Reservoir. At each lake, one site was in the deep part of the lake, and the other was in the middle or shallow part. For each coring location, data from 1983 84 and 1992 were matched after taking recent sedimentation into account, assuming a sedi­ mentation rate of 1.2 to 1.5 in./yr in Standley Lake and 0.9 to 1.2 in/yr in Great Western Reservoir. A range of rates was used for each lake because sedimentation rates generally were higher in the deeper parts of the reservoirs than in the shallow parts (Cohen and others, 1990). Sedimentation rates were estimated based on matching of peaks and inflection points in plots of 239,240pu concentration against depth using 1983 84 and 1992 lake-bottom-sediment core data. The sedi­ mentation rates used were reasonable based on rates reported by Hardy and others (1980), who estimated an average sedimentation rate of 1.3 in/yr for Standley Lake; sedimentation rates were unavailable for Great Western Reservoir.

Concentration of 239 '240Pu in sediment cores col­ lected in 1983-84 and in 1992 is plotted with depth for each of the four sites in figures 15A through 15D. In general, trends in concentration to depth were consis­ tent between 1983-84 and 1992 at all of the sites.Boxplots of 239 '240Pu concentrations, and the differ­ ences between matched pairs of data, are shown in figure 16A. Measured concentrations tended to be somewhat higher in 1983-84 than in 1992. Although the median difference between the two data sets was statistically significant at p<0.05, most differences between the matched pairs were small. The median

difference was 0.050 pCi/g, which is almost 100 times smaller (two orders of magnitude) than the peak 239,240pu concentrations measured in this study. The mean difference was 0.200 pCi/g. Differences in con­ centrations tended to increase at higher concentrations(fig. 16b). At 239'240Pu concentrations between 1.5 and 5.5 pCi/g, values from the 1992 study are 10 to 30 percent less than values reported in the 1983 84 study. The differences in measured concentrations may be attributable to spatial variations in sediment and239,240pu

Lake-Water Samples

Summary statistics of dissolved and total radio- nuclide concentrations in lake-water samples are pre­ sented in table 5. The median concentration ofdissolved 239 < 240pu in lake water was 0.001, and the maximum concentration was 0.009 pCi/L (table 5). Total 239'240pu concentrations in lake water were somewhat higher; the median concentration was 0.003 pCi/L, and the maximum concentration was 0.030 pCi/L. There are no National Drinking WaterStandards for 239'240Pu, but the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has set a water- quality standard of 15 pCi/L and a site-specific water- quality standard of 0.030 pCi/L for Standley Lake and Great Western Reservoir (Colorado codes and regula­ tions, 3.8.0, 5CCR102-8). 239 > 240Pu and 241 Am are alpha emitters that contribute to the gross alpha con­ centrations in lake water in Standley Lake, Great West­ ern Reservoir, and Mower Reservoir. The median dissolved gross alpha concentration was 0.52 pCi/L, and the maximum was 1.9 pCi/L (table 5). These con­ centrations are substantially below the National Drink­ ing Water Standard for gross alpha concentration of 15 pCi/L (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1995). Uranium concentrations also were well below the National Drinking Water Standard of 15 pCi/L (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1995); themedian dissolved concentrations for 233 '234u, 235 U,and 238U were 0.500, 0.024, and 0.270 pCi/L, and maximum dissolved concentrations were 1.2, 0.71 and0.73 pCi/L (table 5). The maximum dissolved 241 Am concentration was 0.116 pCi/L, and the maximum total

Am concentration was 0.026 pCi/L. The maximum total tritium concentration was 144.3 pCi/L (dissolved tritium was not measured). National Drinking WaterStandards for 241Am and tritium do not exist. In sum­ mary, concentrations of all radionuclides measured in lake water at Standley Lake, Great Western Reservoir, and Mower Reservoir were below National Drinking Water Standards for constituents where standards exist.

There were no statistically significant differ­ ences in 239'240pu concentrations in surface water col­ lected at the three study lakes in 1992. However, gross alpha and uranium isotope concentrations tended to be higher in Standley Lake than in the other reservoirs; gross alpha concentrations were higher in Standley

Lake than in Great Western Reservoir (p<0.05) (figs. 17 and 18, table 5). Uranium-233,234 concentrations were higher in Standley Lake than in Mower Reservoir, and uranium-238 concentrations were higher in Stand- ley Lake than in Great Western and Mower Reservoirs (p<0.05).

nium in Standley Lake may be due to weathering of marine shales that contain substantial amounts of ura­ nium. In southeastern Colorado, uranium concentra­ tions in the Arkansas River have been found to increase markedly where the river crosses from a predominantly igneous and metamorphic terrain into areas where marine shale and limestone are the dominant bedrock types (Zielinski and others, 1995). Shale bedrock that crops out to the west of Standley Lake contains sub­ stantial quantities of uranium and, thus, may provide a source of uranium to streams that flow into Standley Lake.

SUMMARY

Median 239'240pu concentrations in lake- sediment grab samples from Standley Lake, Great Western Reservoir, and Mower Reservoir were 0.037, 0.105, and 0.351 pCi/g, and the differences between the reservoirs were statistically significant at p<0.05. The spatial pattern of 239 '240Pu concentration identified in this study, i.e., sediment in lakes closest to Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site having the highest 239,240pu concentrations, is consistent with 239'240pu concentration patterns previously measured in soil sur­ rounding Rocky Flats.

Maximum concentrations of 239'240Pu dissolved in lake water were 0.009 pCi/L, well below limits sug­ gested by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. Dissolved concentrations of grossalpha and 233'234U, 235 U, and 238U were below National Drinking Water Standards in all water sam­ ples. There were no statistically significant differences in 239'240pu concentrations in surface water collected at the three study lakes in 1992.

A comparison of 239'240Pu concentrations in lake-sediment grab samples collected from Standley Lake and Great Western Reservoir in 1983 84 to con­ centrations in 1992 revealed no statistically significant difference (p<0.05) in mean values when samples from the lakes were grouped. When samples from each lake were considered separately, and data from the two stud­ ies were compared, it was determined that there was a small, but statistically significant, difference in 239,240pu concentrations at Great Western Reservoir (p<0.05); concentrations were lower in 1992. The most likely reason for the difference is that sediments deposited in Great Western Reservoir in the 1960's and 70's have been buried beneath newer sediment withlower concentrations of 239'240Pu. The technique used to obtain grab sediment samples collects sediment from

only the upper 2-4 in. of sediments; thus, it is possible that only newer, relatively uncontaminated, sediments were sampled in 1992.

Trends in 239>240pu concentrations with depth identified in the 1992 study were similar to trends observed in the 1983-84 study and other previous stud­ ies. In the 1992 investigation, maximum 239«240pu concentrations occurred at depths ranging from 13 to 31 in. below the sediment-water interface at most sites. There was a small, but statistically significant, differ­ ence (p<0.05) in median 239>240pu concentrations in co-located lake-bottom-sediment cores collected in 1983-84 and in 1992. The median difference between data sets was 0.050 pCi/g, and differences tended to increase with concentration; in samples with concen­ trations above 1.5 pCi/L, concentrations were 10 to 30 percent higher in 1983-84 than in 1992. The differ­ ences in concentrations could be attributable to spatial variations in sediment and 239»240pu deposition.
